First Ladies Hickels Hash Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the diced potatoes and saute until soft and brown. Transfer the potatoes to a dish and set aside. Add the onion to the same pan and saute until golden. Add the chicken garlic, brown slightly. Return the potatoes to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes over low heat. Poach eggs in boiling water with 2 tablespoons vinegar. Serve on top of the hash with pickled beets.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold all the ingredients. Sauté the onion, potatoes and green pepper over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, until the potatoes begin to soften.
• Stir in the chicken, and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining ingredients, and reduce the heat. Cook until the milk has been absorbed and a crust has formed on the bottom of the hash. Turn and cook until the second side is browned.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring the wine and chicken broth to a boil.
• Rub the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and add to the liquid.
• Add the bay leaf.
• Lower the heat to a simmer and poach the chicken at just below a simmer for 10-12 minutes, depending on the size of the breasts.
• Remove the breasts to a plate and allow to cool, reserving the liquid.
• In a saucepan, melt butter.
• Add flour and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Return the wine and broth mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Pour it into the roux in a steady stream, whisking constantly. Place the pot over medium-high heat and, while whisking, return the sauce to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and allow the sauce to cook an additional 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add the sherry and remove the sauce from the heat. Cool at room temperature for 3 minutes.
• Whisk the egg yolks into the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste. Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Mix one half of the whipped cream into the sauce to lighten it. Fold in remaining cream gently but thoroughly.
• Cut the chicken into 1/2-inch cubes and add to the sauce. Mix well gently.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Transfer the hash to a large, ovenproof casserole dish or 4 individual casseroles, sprinkling Parmigiano cheese over the top and bake, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes.
• Place the casserole under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to brown the top.
• Garnish as desired and serve.
